Rishi could set a new record based on a poll. The previous conservative record of the lowest amounts of seats was in 1754 for 104 seats.

In terms of foreign policy. It will more or less be the same with the previous party. NATO, Ukraine, Anti-China, Anti-Russia, Continuing of Brexit, etc.

The #BanKorea (#แบนเกาหลีีี) movement is picking up in Thailand again due to South Korean racism

As a result, Thai people are recommending travel to China instead where the people are friendly to Thais

Thai insults of South Korea are really funny. You could entertain yourself with the comments all day with translate

Ever since the visa-free program, Thai-China relations are moving in the right direction and even many China haters are starting to realise their past discrimination and slowly changing their views
This is interesting. I thought this was overblown at first when I came across it on X.

But then I remember I actually caught a glimpse of south Koreans dislike of south East asians before, online though not actual real life experience. I watched a YouTube video of a south Korean girl studying in China and her boyfriend is southern Chinese, I think from Fujian? Anyway in the comments section there were afew south Koreans presumably males, who disparaged her boyfriend looks, saying he looks south East Asian, like Thai or Vietnamese and not
East asian. I wonder how widespread this is.

Exactly.

While China is fully confident that they will win a conventional war over the Taiwan Strait, some desperate US hawks are advocating to use nuclear weapons to avoid defeat. That's why China is expanding their stockpile of nuclear arms rapidly.

The US should realize that this time it's different.

US Exceptionalism Is Dead No Matter Who Wins the Election​

No matter the president, the US will no longer meet the world as moral beacon or crusader, but as just another Great Power pursuing selfish interests.

This is what clueless delusion looks like.

I thought CPC banned hijab?

They all look like that they are from China.

:oops:


What a dummy. ByteDance basically wasted $2 billion dollars in trying to deal with the US government.

What a dummy. Does not ByteDance knows who Saddam Hussein was? ByteDance is Saddam Hussein. Huawei was Saddam Hussein.

:p
By showing that it was the USG that was the unwilling party to make things work, Bytedance take the onus of suspicion off themselves when a ban inevitably takes place.
This helps them in non-western markets, as otherwise they will get smeared with the "Bytedance were unwilling to cooperate with US laws" card.

IMO, just state your opinion and don't force things. You won't convince someone by pure conviction, particularly if they don't see you as a friend. The thing is that facts by themselves simply aren't sufficient. Every fact everyone takes in is filtered by a web of perception, this is why the same fact can be interpreted differently by different people. That web of perception is often indoctrinated into us since early childhood, before we have gathered enough facts to form our own web. To change the web can take a long time, and using past facts to change the web is useless. The most effective way IMO is to introduce the idea of an alternative web of perception to whoever you want to convince, and allow them to try to process new information through this alternative web and see the results.

For example, I have a very good friend who's a Muslim, he loves America and was highly critical of many things China did, to Muslims in particular (i.e. completely bought into the Uyghur genocide POV). We've had quite a few heated conversations in the past, but we've always remained good friends. Pointing out past atrocities by the US toward Muslims, the far more number confirmed killed, was not enough. Afghanistan and Iraq happened when we were young, too busy chasing girls and booze than to read about politics. Those facts he's aware of, but they've already been casually processed by his America-can-do-no-wrong web of perception. Now that I've introduced a new web to him, however, he's processing the Israel's war in Gaza and America's role differently, especially vis-a-vis the collective West's actions in Ukraine.

These changes take time, you just need to be persistent and consistent. If people are willing to listen, then changes can happen, but only by starting to process new information in a new way. Once this happens, and they realize the new way of processing information is more valid, then they may go back to start processing old information with the new method as well and a person's entire world view can change.
I don't waste my time with roaches, I just make it clear what is tolerated and what isn't, and if they cannot meet those expectations then I don't waste any further time with them.
Surrounding yourself with upstanding, mentally healthy people will make you upstanding and mentally healthy. Tolerating roaches, failures and general losers will drag you down both mentally and in life.

Exactly this. The only people that surround themselves with trash are trash themselves.
